[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow! I kind of thought the ravanels had lots of terrible MMC (like didn’t one of them kidnap somebody and then in a later book the victim was just supposed tj make nice?), but this sounds so bad. I’m going to drag away from the books, thank you. [/quote]
The Ravenels definitely have some jerk alphas but I wonder if you are thinking here of the Wallflower series, where Sebastian kidnaps and almost [i]rapes [/i]Lillian and then later marries her friend and everyone makes totally nice. I am an Xer and grew up with rapey romance novels from the 80s and that still turned my stomach, so so gross. That character was irredeemable and I don't know what the author was thinking.[/quote]
chill.. it's fantasy.  I'm also a gen-xer.

I love K.J. Jackson's series. I think those books would make for better tv. It's fast paced and gritty. No fluff.

I also love Sarah Maclean's books.

I guess I prefer a bit grittier books.  I find Tessa Dare's books too fluffy.  I know.. to each her own.

I'm a millennial. I think that romance novels have in a great direction, well away from the rapey stuff in times of yore. It's like consent, protection, and kindness are sexy these days![/quote]
The authors mentioned above don't right rapey-novels.   I read Shirley Busbee novels waaay back, and those are rapey.

Again, to each her own, but I don't find wimpy men in my romance novels exciting.  I read those novels for an escape, as fantasy. Some of the men in those books would be awful partners IRL, though.[/quote]
